The present invention relates to angiogenesis and methods and apparatus for the detection thereof. There is described, angiogenesis monitoring apparatus comprising: monitoring means adapted to receive signals output from that part of a patient's brain where activity from the neural network relating to angiogenesis occurs; analysing means for analysing the signals to determine whether the signal includes a signal indicating a neural response to cytokine stimulation. Preferably, the monitoring means receives signals of about 8Hz or more. There is also described a method of detecting angiogenesis comprising monitoring signals output from that part of a patient's brain where activity from the neural network relating to angiogenesis occurs analysing the signals to determine whether the signal includes a signal of about 8Hz or more indicating a neural response to cytokine stimulation.
